I have been doing a little digging and we are only going by repetitions of an alleged Forbes Magazine report of a £1.3 billion personal fortune.
In 2013 Forbes magazine actually stated that Mr Moshiri has a personal fortune of $2.8b, which is over £2 billion!!! Must be more now.
Media reports have also been repeating that he has a stake in Megafon, the Russia mobile giant.
While people are assuming that he does not have the funds to catapult us into the big time because he is 'only a billionaire' the truth is probably in my opinion quite the opposite in reality.
Usmanov is worth 15 billion or so and has a 48% stake in USM holdings. Moshiri is the Chairman of that board and owns himself a 10% stake.
Sorry I cannot paste links. Search for 'farhad moshiri' via google on forbes.com. And Megafon mobile.
Megafon must be making obscene amounts every year. Mr Moshiri is worth much more than a billion. Great, great news.
